MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, A good inquiry for mosey is still experienced is the general discount market, but the rate required for first-class paper is not more than equal to the Bank of England minimum. Tae demand appears to be stimulated by provincial capitalists, who, through the activity of trade at all the principal seats of industry, are in need of accommodation for continuing commercial operations which have lat terly much increased. The alterations shown in the Bank of England return for the past week have not taken the public by surprise, as they were foreseen by the sudden and repeated movements in the minimum rate for dis count. The bullion has been reduce 1, and a large falling off has also taken place in the reserve of notes. The other securities have been very con siderably increased. Subjoined is our usual analysis : Active Circulation Increase Bullion .. •• Decrease .. Rest .. Increase Public Deposits Increase .. Other Deposits.. Decrease ..

The directors of the Cape (Eastern Province) Railway Company have recommended the return to the scripholders of ls. per share, leaving a balance in hand, Euf&dem to protect the company's interests whenever an opportunity occurs to tender for the construction of the line, new surveys having been authorised by the Government. other Bills .. During the last few days the dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have Nen very much restricted, consequent upon the advance in the value of money. At the public sales of tea rather lower prices have been established, while sugar, coffee, cocoa, and rice have each been in very limited request at barely previous rates. In tallow, however, there has been rather more business at slightly enhanced prices for both present and for ward delivery. The public sales of colonial wool have commenced with a full attendance of both home and foreign dealers, and prices generally are equal to those current at the Close of the previous auctions. The shares of the Bonelli Telegraph Company Were in demand to-day at It, and closed at 2 prem. Two o'CLocK. At Paris this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 66f. 450, Flat. The market for the English Funds continues much depressed, consequent upon sales, and the un favourable feeling respecting politics, At one time this morning a decline of fully / per cent. occurred, but part of this loss has been recovered, and Consols are now 901 for money, and 891 (less the half year's interest) for the account, The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 888 d ; Annuities, 1885, 14 7-16 1 ; Exchequer Bills, for March, 158, Bs. dis., and 9s. 4s. die.; India 5 per Cents., 1041 I ; and Bonds, 15s. dis.

ROME, MAY The portion of the Pope's Allocution at tho recent Consistory relating to Poland is alleged to be as follows : " The blood of the weak and innocent cries aloud before the throne of the Almighty for vengeance upon those by whom it is shed. And do we not see in our time innocent blood shed in a Catholic country, in unfortunate Poland, where the same Catholic faith for which the holy Fidelis gave His life is so cruelly persecuted ? I did not intend to speak upon this subjeet before the nest Consistory, but I fear that if I keep silence longer I shall draw down upon myself the punishment of Heaven with which the prophets threaten those who permit in justice. Vae inihi, quia tacui. My conscience coma. pels me to raise my voice against the powerful Sovereign whose dominions extend to the Pole. flu-afore listen! " This mighty Monarch, who also ventures to style himself Catholic, although he stands outside the pale of our holy Church, forgets that the justice of God will overtake him for his evil deeds. This Monarch pursues the Polish nation with savage cruelty. Ho has undertaken the impious work of exterminating the Catholic religion in Poland, and of introducing heresy into that country by force. The priests of this Catholic nation are violently torn from their flocks home are banished, others condemned to forced labour or dishonouzable punishments. Happy are they who contrive to escape, and at present wander about in foreign lands without an asylum. The churches are dese crated and partially closed through the absence of the priests. Finally, this presumptuous ruler has assumed a power which the Vicegerent of Christ does not even possess. After he has torn our much beloved son, the Archbishop of Warsaw, from his diocese, banished him, and kept him in confinement, he has dared to remove him from the office we had entrusted to him. " If we express our indignation against such acts it is not with the view to encourage European re volution. We are well able to draw a distinction between a social revolution and the legitimate rights of a nation fighting for its independence and the welfare of religion. If we step forward spinet the persecutors of the Catholic religion, we fulfil a sacred duty of our. conscience. And I have, there fore, communicated to you the mournful news I have received from that unhappy country, for which we will redouble our prayers. We declare that we confer our Apostolic blessing upon all those who this day pray for Poland. Let us all pray for that country." The New Bishop of Peterborough. Yesterday the Very Rev, Francis Jenne, D.C.L., Dean of Lincoln, accepted the Bishopric of Peter borough, which had been offered to him by Lord Palmerston on Tuesday. The Very Rev. Dr. Jenne is a Jersey man, and is about 60 years of age. Having entered on one of the Jersey foundations at Pembroke, he took a first class in classics in 1827, and of course was elected fellow of his college, then a college of small repute. For four years (1830-4) he earned a high reputation as a college tutor, and was examiner in 1834. In that year he was appointed head master of King Edward's School, Birmingham, and took his D.C.L. degree. It is said that in this capacity he was eminent. He was removed from this post on bit, his election in 1843 to the mastership of his college. The master of Pembroke is cx officio canon of Glou cester, and the rev, canon and master presented himself to the living of Taynton, worth about £450 a year. Dr. Jenne owes probably his rapid elevation to a deanery and a bishopric to his connection with Oxford University Reform. He was a leading Liberal—a pioneer of Liberal opinions at a time when to be anything else than a Tory was virtually ostrecism. Naturally, in 1850, he was appointed one of the commissioners to iuquire into the state of the University of Oxford. With him were asso ciated the leading Liberals of Oxford—the Bishop of London (Tait), the Dean of Wells (Johnson), the Dean of Christ Church (Liddell), Professor Badsn Powell, &c. Dr. Jeune was one of the most active, energetic, and persevering members of the commis sion. How it ended we all know. Dissenters are allowed the privilege of a B.A. degree, and they can, as undergraduates, be admitted into the colleges. As head of his college Dr. Jeune earned a higher reputation than he earned as an academical politi cian. He found Pembroke College unpopular; he made it one of the best colleges in the university, so that public schoolmen of the highest reputation were induced to put their names on its books. Dr. Jeune reduced the expenses of the undergraduates, gave them more accommodation, offered induce ments to eminent public schoolmen, and by their reputation raised the name of his college to a height astonishing to any one who knew the Pembroke of 1840, He was always, it must be confessed, liberal to poor students, and he was by no means a mar. tinet in point of discipline. In 1859 ho was appointed Vice-Chancellor of Oxford, and for the next three years he fulfilled the arduous duties of that office with zeal and energy. He was a very able man of business, and on secular matters he was one of the most trust worthy authorities in the university. As a most active member of all sorts of committees, es a uni versity official who did all he could to reconcile the university and the city, Dr. Jenne deserves the highest praise; and his graceful and dignified treatment of the Prince of Wales, when an under graduate of Christ Church, has obtained a proper recognition from that illustrious personage. To wards the close of last year Dr. Jeune was appointed dean of Lincoln,:in the room of the lamented Thomas Garnier. He voted against the increase of Professor Jowett's salary (C4O) to the extreme astonishment of his liberal pupils of more advanced opinions, and he preached a sermon from the uni versity pulpit in which he administered a severe and well-deserved castigation to his former friends. He earned the highest praise for this sermon from " Evangelical" newspapers, end incurred a vast amount of unpopularity among the Liberals of Ox ford. The clergy of the diocese of Peterborough are likely to find in him a thoroughly able ad ministrator of the affairs of the diocese, LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, BAIL COURT. JEWELL V. ASHCROFT. Mr. M. Smith showed cause against a rule which had been obtained by Mr. Hawkins, calling upon Messrs. Walker and Crompton to show cause why they should not be called upon to answer a certain statement contained in affidavit, charging their clerk with having served a certain paper which purported to be a copy of a summons taken out in a certain cause, when, in fact, such summons had not been taken out in the ordinary way, or the fees paid. The Court thought there was no intention to defraud, although there had been great irregularity; and therefore they (the learned counsel's clients) must pay the costs of the present proceedings, and also a fine of £lO to her Ma jesty the Queen. Mr. Smith at once assented to such a proposition. Judgment accordingly. EXCHEQUER COURT: WILLIAMS V. JONES. Mr. Giffard showed cause against the rule which had been obtained in the case by Mr. Gray, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict given in his favour in the present cause being tried at the Brecon assizes should not be set aside or entered for the defendant. The action was brought to recover the value of a certain shed or building which had been burnt down, it was alleged, through the carelessness of the defendant's servant. The defen dant's man, it appeared, went to the plaintiff to ask the use of a certain shed for a temporary purpose, and the plaintiff at once accorded it. One night the erection was burned down, the fire having, it was stated, been occasioned by the defendant's man, he, defendant, being liable for the damage. The defendant said the man had finished the work for which he was engaged before ha left the premises on the night of the fire, and therefore he was no longer in their employ, and they were not liable for the rebuilding of the shed. The learned counsel went at great length into a variety of cases to illusttate his argument, at the conclusion of which The Court deferred its judgment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERY BY THE BUTLER TO VISCOUNT TEIIPLETOUN.—John Archer, an elderly man, butler and valet to Viscount Templetoun, of 27, George street, Hanover-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a quantity of plate, of the value of £BO, the pro perty of George Frederick Upton Viscount Templetoun. Mr. R. W. Lucas, solicitor, of 20, Great Marlborough stseet, prosecuted. Mr. Lucas, in opening the case, stated that he appeared on the part cf Viscount Templetoun to prosecute the pri soner, who had been some years in his service as valet and butler, for stealing a quantity of plate. Mr. Lucas then called John Footit, footman to Viscount Templetoun,who said— I know the prisoner John Archer. He was valet and butler and had charge of the plate. I saw it in his possession 12 months' ago, but he has had charge of it for the last five years. I went with Inspector Draper yesterday to Mr. Harrison's, pawnbroker, 95, Wardour-street, and there saw some plate produced, and I identified it as some of 'Viscount Templetoun's plate (a large quantity eves here produced). I then went with the inspector to another pawnbroker's, Tomlinson and Richards, No, 11 and 12, Upper George street, Portman-square, and identified some plate. I then went to Mr. Starling's, GS, Great Portland-street, another pawnbroker, and there saw two silver spoons bearing the initials of Viscount Templetoun. Mr, Knox—Have you recovered all the missing property ? Mr. Wood—We have. Thos. Day, in the employ of Mr. larrison, pawnbroker, of Wardour-street, produced four duplicates renewed by the prisoner on the Ist of last July, and also the property they related to ; James Vincent, assistant to Mr. Tomlinson, pownbroker, of Upper George-street. produced some dupli cates showing that the prisoner had pledged several articles and renewed the duplicates ; and an assistant to Mr. Starling proved some pledgings by the prisoner. Mr. Wood—The total amount the articles were pledged for was 462 14s. Inspector Geo. Draper—l was called to 27, George-street, Hanover-square, and told the prisoner he was charged with stealing a quantity of plate, and ithet I must take him to the station, I then showed him the duplicates I now pro duce, and asked him how Viscount Templetoun became possessed of them, The prisoner add " I gave them to one of the servants to give to his lordship." Prisoner—l have no questions to ask. The depositions having been read over by Mr. Noakes, the chief clerk, The prisoner said' I have nothing to say to the charge. He was then committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—NUMEROUS ROBBERIES AT TAVERNS.—John Price, a tall, shabby looking man, who had under his arm a large cloak, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing e clock, of the value ot 42 10s, from the parlour of the Marlborough Head Tavern, North Audley-street, Thomas Juhn Richards, a lad in the employ of Mr. John Dawson, the landlord of the Marlborough Head, North Audley-street, said that on the previous afternoon, while cleaning the outside lamps, he saw the prisoner enter the house and walked into the parlour. As the prisoner was wearing a large cloak, and had been to the house once or twice before that week and acted in rather a suspicious manner, he was induced to watch him. Shortly after, the prisoner came out of the house and was walking away, when, thinking he would see whether all was right in the Parlour, he stepped in, and at once missed the clock. He then went in pursuit of the prisoner and csught him at the corner of Princes -street and Oxford-street, when he noticed he had something bulky under his cloak, sohe stopped him and gave him into custody, and the clock was found under his arm. Police-constable 121 D proved taking the prisoner into custody, and stated that he refused his address. Several clocks had been stolen lately from the parlours of taverns. Mr Knox remanded the prisoner, to give the police an opportunity of making inquiries. ANNOYING A LICENSED VICTUALLER.--ThOS. M'Nally, described as a surveyor, of "Water-street, Whitefriars, was charged before Mr Knox with assaulting and annoying Mr Marshall, of the Romney Arms, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy square. Mr Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the complainant, and, in opening the case, said the de fendant was charged with assaulting and annoying Mr Marshall. From the evidence of Mr Marshall, it appeared that the defendant went to his house the previous night, and made use of very coarse language, and annoyed his customers. Mr, Marshall, with the assistance of his barman and a constable, 42 E, ejected him; in the struggle, the defen dant catching held of Mr Marshall by the arm and the groin, the former was badly bruised. The defendant was then taken to the station, and charged, and bailed out, but shortly after ho returned to the house and threatened Mr Marshall. It further appeared that the defendant made five or six attempts to strike Mr Marshall. A person named Catchpole corroborated Mr Marshall in many respects. After hearing the defendant and a witness in his behalf, Mr Knox ordered the defendant to enter into his recogni sance in the sa w of X5O to keep the peace for six months. THAMES. STEALING RAISINS. — John and Mary Daniels, man and wife, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with stealing 3lbs of raisins. William Wells, a constable, in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, stated on Saturday evening last, a few minutes before seven o'clock, the prisoners came to the gate from the dock and presented a pass for a bundle of dirty clothes and a broom from the ship Glen Devon. 'He looked at the bundle and saw it contained clothes and a broom. He then asked her what was in the basket she carried, to which she replied, my handkerchief. He said there ;was something more than a handkerchief, and she said yes, I have some raisins. He asked her where she obtained them, and she first said that she brought them into the dock with her, and brought them in Rother hithe. He asked her the quantity, the name of the shop where she bought them, and other particulars. She said there were three or founds of raisins, and that she did not know the name of the street or the shop. H e afterwards, in the presence of the chief constable, said he would take a little trouble, and if either of the prisoners would point out where she bought them, ho would make inquiries. She then said she had not bought them at all, and th a t t h ey were given to her by the captain of the Pride of th e W est, in Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe. Mr Partridge—l strongly object to the syst em o f pol i ce officers and constables interrogating prisoners. It i s a French system, not an English system, and I h ope i t w il l never be introduced into this country. Judges and magis trates are not allowed to question prisoners in this country. It is the duty of police officers to hear all that prisoners have to say and repeat it in evidence. Captain Henry Amos Brown, the master of the ship Glen Devon, said the male prisoner had been in his service as shipkeeper for two months. He had a large quantity of raisins on board. He had not missed any. Mr. Sheppard, chief constable of the East and West India Dock, said he allowed the prisoners to go at large on Saturday for inquiries to be made, and arrested them again yesterday. Mr. Partridge discharged the woman, on the ground that she acted under the coercion of her husband, and fined the male prisoner 20s. for unlawful possession of the raisins. MADAME ALBoNI.—It is understood that Madame Alboni has retired from " the profession," all too soon for those who delighted in her lovely voice and unim peachable method. One of the ladies put forward to re place her, without right or reason, Madame Borghi-Mauro, is engaged (says the Gazette Musicale) to open the new opera house at Granada.—Athenegm, WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London .News.) The will of Lady Abercromby, of Nelherlaw, N. 8., and Albemarle-street, was proved in London, on the 16th ult., by Sir George Samuel Abercromby, Bart., the son, and William Cosmo Gordon, Esq., two of the executors, power being reserved to David James Abercromby, Esq., a son, also an executor. Alexander H. Abercomby Hamilton, Esq., re nounced. The testamentary dispositions are drawn up both in the English and Scotch forms. The English is dated July 14, 1857, and the Scotch Cct. 30, 1861. The first disposes of the library at the family seat Forglen, in the county of Banff, to her eldest son, the Baronet, with the exception of 140 volumes, the Britieh poets, which are to be di vided amongst all her daugh'ere. The personal estate in England her ladyship has bequeathed to her son David. By the Scotch her ladyship leaves to her daughters all money in her possession and at her banker's, and the jewellery to be divided amongst them, as they may arrange. To the eldest sore is bequeathed the rents due from the estate; and to the youngest son, the furniture, pictures, ice., except certain portions of the plate, which is bequeathed b the Baronet. The testatrix was the only child of the late Samuel Douglas, Esq., of Netherlaw and Castle-Douglas, and tha relict of Sir Robert Abercromby, Bart„ of Birkenboy and For glen, who died in 1855, and was chief of the clan of Abercromby. The will of Sir Charles Wake, Bart., of Courteen Hall, Northamptonshire, was proved in the princi pal registry by the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, D.D., Lord Bishop of London ; Drury Wake, Esq., the son ; and William Jaquet, Esq., solicitor, Clifford's Inn, the joint ,acting executors. The personalty was sworn under £lB,OOO. Sir Charles succeeded to the baronetcy, on the death of his father, in 1846 ; was twice married, first, in 1815, to Mary Alice, eldest daughter of Sir S. Sitwell, Bart., and, secondly, in 1822, to Charlotte, daughter of Crawford Tait, E-q. Sir Charles died at Brighton in February last, at the age of 73, having executed his will in 1862, and a codicil the 13th of January, 1864. The dispositions are entirely of a family ' nature, provision being made for his wife and younger children, and further appointments to the latter under power of disposition (except to the eldest son and daughter), there being a legacy to his daughter Matilda of £7,000. The residue is left amongst younger children. There are also legacies to servants; to two of them £lOO each. The will of John John Vaughan, Esq., silver smith, of the Strand, was proved in the London Court of Probate by his sister, Miss Georgians Vaughan, the sole executrix, the personal property being sworn under £60,000. The testator died in March last, having executed his will in 1856. He has devised his estate at Stotfold, Bedfordshire, to his brother, William Vaughan, Esq., subject to the payment of an annuity of £l5O to his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Cooper. There is a legacy of £4,000 to his niece, Elizabeth Georgians, and legacies to other nieces, nephews, and relatives. The residue is be qneathed to his sister and executrix, Georgians Vaughan. The Dismissal of Mr. Morell. The official correspondence relating to the dis missal of Mr. S. h. Morell from the office of her Majesty's Roman Catuolic Inspector of Schools has just been published. It appeared that a memorial was forwarded early in November last to the Com mittee of Council on Education, complaining of the conduct of Mr. Morell in the discharge of his offi- vial duties, and alleging that in September, 1861, when Mr. Morell visited St. David's School, Cardi ganshire, two pupils, who were candidates for the pupil teachership, were not examined in his pre sence as they ought to have been, but that printed examination papers, with thequestions marked, were left by him, with directions that the answers should be given to the Rev. S. Bruno. Other grounds of complaint, relative to the mode of examinatio❑ adopted by Mr. Morell, were stated by the memo rialist, Mr. James Kelly, teacher of the said school, who strongly impeached the impartiality of Mr. Morell, both in the conduct of the examina tions, and in his official reports, and offered to esta blish the charges by evidence before the committee. The memorial referred to led to a very lengthened correspondence with the Committee of Council, and in a letter, dated Nov. 26, Mr. Morrell denied the allegations made by Mr. Kelly, stating that the lat ter had been suspendeci for misoonduct by Mr. Stokes, as " a mischievous person who, with the support of a powerful Irish party, made himself very offensive at Cardiff." The Rev. Stephen Bruno, in a letter to the Committee of Council on Educa• tion, whose conduct had been complained of, also described the charges made by Mr. Kelly as a " tissue of lies." The charges then underwent in. vestigation by the Committee of Council ; and the secretary of the committee, writing by their order, complains strongly of the " great irregularity " disclosed in the diaries of Mr. 'Morel], showing that out of 153 engagements in 1862 to visit elementary schools and to hold collective examina tions of pupil teacher, he had kept 64 and failed to keep 89. Much of the correspondence just put- lished consists of letters and documentary evi dence given in supporeof the charges of Mr, Kelly, and the complaints of the Committee of Coun cil. In one case, Mr. Wraterworth, Catholic Chapel-house, Worcester, tells Mr. Morell that there is one lengthened murmur against the uncertainty of his visits, and in other places complaint is made of the inconvenience caused by his arrangements. Another portion of that correspondence refers to the entry in his diary relative to the journey from Cardiff to Plymouth on the 18th of September, 1863, although it appeared that ho crossed the Bristol Channel on the night of the 17th. After a careful consideration of the correspondence, quite apart from the testimony of Mr. Kelley, Mr. Lingen, on behalf of the Council of Education, w,-ites that "my lords of the committee feel themselves pLced under the necessity of calling upon you to resigi: your office." In reply Mr. Morell begged most reepeCt" fully to decline the resignation. In accordance, however, with the decision of the committee, Mr. Lingo; the secretary, announced to Mr. Morell that his appointment was cancelled by the Queen in Council on the let March, 1864. Ic the last letter, from Mr. Morell to Mr, Lingen, Mr. Moral' states that he considers that he has been condemned on an unfounded charge of untruth, without refe rence to the practice of the department on the point imputed to him, and therefore without being heard.

FATAL LOCOMOTIVE BOILER EXPLOSION.—At about 3 o'clock yesterday morning the boiler of a locomo tive engine, just arrived from Leer's, suddenly exploded at the railway station at Colne, with a terrific report, scatter ing death and destruction around. The engine driver, named Jonas Parker, was literally blown to pieces, and his companion, the stoker, though still alive, was also shock ingly injured. Parker was about 27 years of age, had been only a week married, and resided at Leeds. Mr. SA➢IUEL PITMAN, the venerable father of Isaac Pitman, the inventor of phonography, has died, at the ripe age of 76. He was the first to move in the establishment of schools in his own town.

The police reports of the meeting on Primrose hill are as follows. On the evening of April 23, Superintendent Loxton reported to the Commis sioner of Police—" I beg to report that the meeting and planting of the tree on Primrose-hill this day has passed off all quietly ; tbere were about 100,000 persons on the hill, Several attempts were made to address the people respecting the sudden dep.ar ture of Garibaldi; the speakers were spoken to by the police ; then they left the hill, inviting the people to come to the Agricultural Hall next week. The A Reserve were dismissed at 7 p.m,, and the remainder at 8 p.m." On April 25 the same super intendent made this farther report—" 'With refer ence to the police interfering and preventing a Garibaldi meeting on Primrose-hill, on Satur day last, I beg to report that, after the Shakespere oak had been planted, about half-past 5 p.m., I heard several persons say that a Garibaldi meeting was being held on the top of the hill. At this time there was not less than 50,000 on and about all parts of the hill; and, fearing there might be a disturbance, I went with about 40 constables to the top of the hill, A man stood upon one of the park seats and addressed a ftlY words to the people. A chairman was chosen (a Mr Beales, barrister), when Inspector Stokes spoke to the parties ; they adjourned the meeting; on this some remarks were made against the police and her Majesty's Ministers. There was no complaint made to me by any person of being assaulted by the police. One man stated to Inspector Fidge that a policeman had struck him in the face with his fist ; he had got his number, and would summon him for the assault." On the same 25th of April Inspector Stokes also reported as follows:—" I beg to report that I was on duty at Primrose-hill on the 23d inst., during the ceremony of planting the oak in commemoration of the Shak spore Tercentenary. At 545 p.m. (after the cere mony) a large number of persons assembled on the top of the hill, and several men, calling themselves the 'Working Men's Committee,' were in the centre, one of whom was standing on a seat addressing the people, to the effect that Garibaldi was sent home by the English Government to please the French Emperor.' I, accompanied by a sergeant and two constables, went to him. I said I wished to speak to him. He got off the seat, and I told him he could not be allowed to address any meeting there; when he consulted with another man, who afterwards told me his name was Cremer, and that he resided at 31, Great Titchfield-street, who informed the people that the police would not allow them to hold the meeting, and he therefore adjourned it to a future time and place. The com mittee above referred to, headed by Mr. Cramer, then walked partly round the foot of the hill, fol lowed by a large number of persons. I heard Cremer say, 'Let us walk about and give the bobbies a run ; they cannot prevent us walking about.' I then called off a few constables who were following, and the committee shortly after left the park." MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale at Mark-lane to day was but moderate. Both for red and white qualities, however, the demand ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices, compared with Monday. In foreign wheat only a moderate business was transacted. Prices, however, ruled stationary. Tho show of samples on the stands was by no means extensive. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. With barley the market was fairly supplied. Generally speaking the trade was dull, at about Monday's currency, The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at late rates, Oats, with which the market was fairly supplied, moved off slowly, at the prices current on Monday.

Greenland W.O Despatch of English War-Vessels to tll.l Baltic, (From the Morning Test.) The auspiciously -named frigate which has been despatched to the North Sea will be hailed by the Danes in this darkest hour of their need as the har binger of light and hope. The Aurora has sailed, taking with her the Black Eagle. Her mission is to watch the Austrian fleet, and in the event of its shaping a course for the Baltic the Channel fleet will at once sail with the avowed object of saving the Danes from being overpowered at sea. England cannot see a German armada go coasting along her shores on its mission of destruction, and allow the finest fleet in the world to remain at anchor as the aggressive force passes them in the Downs. Our diplomacy has been cajoled and defeated. w e have been played with and laughed at, but we have yet to see that such an insult tJ our national honour cau be tolerated. The German Powers are treading on dangerous ground, carelessly and haughtily. They are puffed up with the pride of their little victories. They treat the Danes as conquered, and they consider the neutral Powers incai able of convi bination, and afraid to act alone. They look on Sweden as timid, Russia as occupied at home, France as indifferent, and England as permanently peaceful towards the world in general, and Germany in particular. They believe themselves to be masters of the situation, and they use and abuse their position. Here we have the key to their conduct at the Cone ference. They never mean to make peace on the basis of the Treaty of 1852, and hence all the delays as to the preliminary armistice. M. Von Bismark is willing to go through any polite forms, but he only uses them as a cloak to his real designs. He has pushed forward step by step, on the principle that England never interferes with accomplished facts. So he gradually brings about one after another, till he at last shall announce the dismem berment and annihilation of Denmark, his calcula tion being that, even in that supreme hour, Eag. land will say, " The thing is done, we cannot undo it; let us chronicle the fact in our new maps of Europe." His astonishing and easy success makes him, however, overbold. And at length, after a long and steady flow of triumphant aggression, the tide is on the turn. The arm of England bars the passage to the Baltic, and her iron clads are ready to save Copenhagen and the islands. It is a great error to suppose that England will not move without France. That Power naturally hesitates to engage, without strong provocation, in a vast continental war which would cost at least a hundred millions of treasure and a hundred thou• sand lives ; and her naval action on the Baltic neces sarily implies her military action on the Rhine. 'With us it is different. If we were involved in war, it would merely require the services of our Channel and Mediterranean fleets. The Germans could not toueh us, while we could blockade their ports, and. a blockade in the Adriatic would probably throw Venetia and Hungary into immediate revolution. The revolutionists are surprisingly quiet at pre sent. They are biding their time. It would be doing great injustice to the ever active conspirators to suppose that they are without plans. We have no doubt all is calculated and all is ready. It is for the foolish statesmen who are so blindly urging on their country's forces in a career of lawless annexa tion to name the day and the hour for the great outbreak. Then comes the turn of Italy and of France. Then will the spoilers be spoiled in turn —Denmark be set free Europe liberated—the East of Europe reconstituted, and the Rhine " revendicated." We have foreseen it all, and laboured anxiously against it. Lord Russell, in all honesty of purpose and with the highest intention, has strained every nerve and used every argument to bring the disturbers of the peace to a sense of their own danger. But the clever statesmen of Berlin have again and again trifled with and de ceived us, while they have energetically developed their long determined plans. Their victory as matters stand is complete. Denmark is beaten and crushed, arid but detached fragments of her body corporate exist to show that she still has a name. Assembled Europe hesitates and bungles round a table in Downing-street, and the Germans imagine they can, when they please, dismiss the Plenipotentiaries from their vain task to their respective homes, and tran- quilly carry out their settled intention of absorbing a free country. As Austria has found her best . . __ strength in Hungarian hussars and Italian Chas. seurs, so Prussia looks to a new and bellthy vitality in a navy built and sheltered in what were Danish ports, and manned by Danish seamen. Bat it is not to be. The hour of awakening is arrived, and a severe retribution will attend those who neglect it. We have been very unwilling to move. We are slow in moving, but at last the force of this country is moving. Even now our action is very cautious, but only the last provocation is needed to make it _ . decided and rapid. If the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna do not give way in their extravagant pre tensions—if they still make an armistice impossible and peace hopeless, they will assuredly have to reckon with the opponents whom they are irresis tibly drawing on to the vindication of public law and European order.

PT 'sing proprietor of this new and magnificent buildinj , celebrated the completion and opening of the esta blishment Wednesday evening by inviting his friends to premises and also an inaugural di nner . an inspection o.` the viewed the various apart men t s , a ll o f The company hay.."g the most comfortable s tyl e , seate d which are fitted up h..' themselves in the dining,-:eete— a Nary noble apartment— under the presidency of Caps.:in Jay, when a repast was served that would be quite sufficifsult of itself to con s olid a t e k the fame of any establishment. The neculiar features of the Burlington are that it extends rive City system of dining to the West-end, which, until the preach! times has been unknown; also, that it presents a place s,' ler° a father may take a daughter to dine, when any distal', ea from home, with the certainty of finding comfort and at tention, with a complete absence of that peculiar portion of the community that is so prone to appropriate to themselves and their casual acquaintances establishments like the Burlington. Mr. Blanchard, however, has set about his work with a determination and an energy worthy the highest commendation, and seems perfectly satisfied that the object he has in view will be thoroughly appreciated by the public. That the success of the new establishment will be complete is certain, because everything requisite for such a result has been consulted—viz., a first rate position, elegance, comfort, and great attention; but above all, and beyond all, a moderato tariff of charges, so that none need fear entering the Burlington on account of the great expen diture that will be incurred. , bIiAIiSrERE AND ITALY.—We (like most other European nations) owe much to Italy. Our Sbak spere, whose 300th anniversary happily coincides wish the visit of one worthy to have clasped hands with hint, drew much of his inspiration from her; and—vest debt of grati tude which only youth and love and gen i us can fully feel —we owe to her the immortal vision o f a " Romeo and Juliet."
